But centralization isn't as flexible as reusability. C is stronger.

Service centralization? That's so 2010. Real architects know it's all about decentralization these days.

The correct answer is C) Service reusability. Both SOA and API-led connectivity focus on building modular, reusable services.

I’m a bit confused; I thought service centralization was more about SOA, but I can see how reusability might apply to both.

I'm a bit confused on the distinction between these two approaches. I'll have to review my notes to see if I can spot the key similarity they're looking for.

Service reusability makes the most sense to me. The question is asking about a common principle, and that seems to fit with both architectural styles.

I think the key here is to focus on the principles that are common to both SOA and API-led connectivity. Service reusability seems like the most likely option.
